QUOTE O= THE DAY

"We always knew its day would come" – A bookstore after selling a child=en's book that had been on its shelf since 1991. The question is...will it=be restocked?

The Story

Things between the US and China are getting feisty. And neither side is backing=down.

Drama. Dive into it.

The US and China are two of the world's biggest economies. But the Trump admin =oesn't like the way China operates. And has accused it of unfair trade pra=tices, for things like stealing US companies' intellectual property. Enter= tariffs. Hundreds of bil=ions of them. The two countries are still in the midst of a full-fledged t=ade war.

So what's the latest?

Over the weekend, the two countries met up at the APE= summit – where leaders from 21 member economies sit down to talk =bout trade in the Asia-Pacific region. Let's just say...it didn't go great=

How now great?

Well, for the first time in the summit's history, lea=ers couldn't reach an agreement for a joint statement at the end of it. Th= drafted joint statements apparently condemned unfair trade practices (cou=h, looking at you, China, cough).

What went down?

During the summit, both the US and China tried to con=ince the group that their way was the right way. President Xi Jinping ment=oned China's Belt and Road in=tiative (an infrastructure plan China's spearheading in dozens of coun=ries), saying it would bring "common development to the world." VP Mike Pe=ce – sitting in for President Trump – answered by saying t=at the US doesn't strap its partners with debt that would "compromise thei= sovereignty."

This feud is far from over. And it has everyone (incl=ding global markets) on t=e edge of their seats. TBD if Trump and Xi can find some common ground whe= they meet at the G20 summit<=a> later this month.

REPEAT AFTER ME...

What people want updates on…

Californ=a. The death toll from fires there is now 80. Nearly 1,000 people are =naccounted for. The fire near LA is more than 90% contained while the fire=in Northern California – the state's deadliest and most destructiv= ever – is 65% contained. President Trump visited the area over th= weekend, praising the firefighters and promising federal funds. But he al=o got pushback for suggesting the state focus more on raking forests...and confusing the name of the town ravaged by the fire.=Next up: rain is expected in the north this week. The good news: it could =elp put out the fire. The bad news: it could bring dangerous floods and mu=slides. Search-and-rescue efforts are ongoing. Here's how you can help.

What people around the world are saying…<=h3>

I'm upset. In France, hundreds of thousands of people=turned out to protest high fu=l taxes. This is part of French President Macron's effort to fight cli=ate change. Some of the protests have been violent. Hundreds were injured.=And one woman died. Meanwhile, there's also pushback on the gov in Canada.=Dozens of indigenous women joined a class-action lawsuit accusing health officials of doing things l=ke tying their fallopian tubes without sufficient consent while going thro=gh labor. This isn't the firs= time Canada's health officials have been accused of forced sterilizat=on. But now, we're learning it might've still been happening as recently a= last year. Amnesty International is concerned that racism is behind this.=/p>

What to say when buying wine for Friendsgiving�=A6

Going with red – just like Florida. Recounts =here handed the Senate race to Gov. Rick Scott (R) and the governor's race to Ron DeSantis (R). After holding off from concedi=g, Dem candidates Sen. Bill Nelson and Andrew Gillum said 'it's all you.' =epublicans now have a 52-47 margin in the Senate (which could go up to 53-=7 if they win a Mississippi runoff later this month). The head of election= for a major Florida county – who got a lot of heat for how she ha=dled the recount – celebrated the end by resigning. Meanwhile, Stacey Abrams (D) conceded Georgia's governor race to B=ian Kemp (R).

=b>PS: DC is about to say 'hi' to tons of new women lawmakers. Get to k=ow them – and the women who paved the way – here.

What to say when your grandma drops how she'd like to=attend a wedding next year…
